Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 6 ounces Fresh sushi-grade tuna
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (gluten-free)
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 tablespoon Scallion (green onion), finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
• 1 piece (for rolling) Plastic wrap
• 1 piece Sushi mat (bamboo mat)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 more minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spoon, being careful not to mash the rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Dice the fresh tuna into small cubes. In a bowl, combine the diced tuna, gluten-free soy sauce (tamari), sriracha, mayonnaise, and finely chopped scallion. Mix until the tuna is well-coated and set aside.

Step 4

Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top of your sushi mat to prevent sticking. Place a nori sheet shiny side down onto the plastic-covered sushi mat.

Step 5

With wet hands to prevent sticking, spread an even layer of the seasoned sushi rice over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of the nori uncovered at the top edge.

Step 6

Spoon the spicy tuna mixture in a horizontal line about 1 inch from the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.

Step 7

Using the sushi mat as a guide, roll the sushi tightly, starting from the bottom edge and moving toward the uncovered edge of the nori. Use gentle pressure to shape the roll, ensuring it stays even.

Step 8

Once the roll is complete, seal the edge of the nori by dampening it with a little water.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make all 4 rolls.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 pieces. Clean the knife blade with a wet towel between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 11

Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rolls for added flavor and garnish.

Step 12

Serve the rolls immediately with additional gluten-free soy sauce for dipping.
